OR EVEN HERE, ON LJ, FOR THAT MATTER!!!I know nobody on my friendslist would do that, and I really don't want to turn my LJ friends only entirely, but I will do, if there's no other solution ( Read more... )

I did the last of the Christmas shopping today; not planning to leave the house until the 27th, at the earliest. Well, we were planning to go for a walk tomorrow, but weather forecast promises heavy snowfall, so that might not happen, after all.

Otherwise, it finally was a lazy day. We didn't even cook today, having had leftover soup and ( Read more... )

Happy Solstice to all of you who are celebrating it!I've decorated and put up the artificial monstrosity otherwise known as our Christmas tree today. It isn't custom in our family to do so before Christmas Eve, but I didn't want to be dead on my feet on that day, so I thought a couple of days earlier won't be such a breach in the centuries-old ( Read more... )

We washed the kitchen curtains today. Well, Louise (the washing machine) did it, but we still had work with them.

The concert was a great success - acoustics chose to cooperate for a change and I managed not to massacre any of the solo parts. Phew! With that, choir activity also ends for this year, meaning that I can putter around the flat and do all the small things I haven't found the time to deal with in the recent months. I really don't mind ( Read more... )
